Thank You Beyond the Film

Ramona: Alright! Once we're full, it's time for some activities!

Ramona: Goldfish scooping, yo-yo fishing, ring toss, or shooting?

Ramona: There's so much to do.

Ramona: Xue, which one do you want to do first?

Xue: I need to focus on filming, so I'm good.

Xue It won't make for a good story if the cameraman is playing around.

Xue: Just you guys—

Xue: ...Huh?

Ramona: What's wrong, Xue? You want to try shooting?

Xue: Not really.

Ramona: Those prizes...

Ramona: That stuffed bear, it looks similar to the one in your room.

Ramona: Do you want it? That's it, isn't it!

Ramona: Alright, I'll get it for you! Just wait.

Xue: Quit it! I don't need your help!

Xue: I'll do it myself.

Xue: Germany, I'll ask you to hold the camera for a bit.

Ramona: Ah, Xue!

Xue: Mister. One round of shooting!

Shooting Gallery Attendant: Sure, it's 500 yen per round.

Xue: ...

Xue: Mister, one more round.

Lilja: Missed again.

Lilja: That's the fifth time. 2500 yen.

Ramona: ...Xue.

Xue: Don't talk to me when I'm aiming, I'm concentrating.

Hikari: Oh dear, she's being stubborn.

Hikari: Once she's like this, there's no stopping her.

Koyomi: We promised that any subsequent rounds would come out of Xue's personal money.

Koyomi: I thought she would stop after this.

Ramona: Maybe it's because I called out to her...

Lilja: Hey, Ramo.

Lilja: I also want that stuffed toy.

Ramona: Lilja?

Lilja: Get it for me, Ramo.

Lilja: Hurry, before Xue. If you do that...

Lilja: ... whisper

Ramona: I see! Lilja, I'll ask for you to take the camera.

Ramona: Leave it to me!

Ramona: Sir, one round of shooting for me too.

Shooting Gallery Attendant: Sure, just a moment.

Xue: Hey, it's my turn now.

Xue: What are you doing?

Ramona: Ah, next time is fine.

Ramona: Now I have to do the shooting too.

Ramona: It seems Lilja also wants that bear.

Ramona: So let's have a competition, Xue.

Koyomi: Suddenly challenging each other to a shooting contest, aren't you a bit too old for that?

Koyomi: Xue, you rushed and missed.

Hikari: Hey, come on, Koyomi-san.

Hikari: They're probably planning something.

Hikari: Hehe. This kind of competition is part of the festival spirit, it'll make for good footage!

Xue: (Damn, missed again... This is the eighth time)

Xue: (What am I so stubborn about? Spending even my own money. For such a simple stuffed bear)

Xue: (No... That bear...)

Ramona: Next, it's my turn.

Ramona: ...Alright.

Ramona: (I've done shooting a few times before. I missed earlier, but I got a better feel for it on the second try)

Ramona: (...For Xue's sake, please let this be a success!)

Koyomi / Hikari: !

Shooting Gallery Attendant: Congratulations! You've won the C prize~!

Lilja: Well done, Ramo.

Ramona: Yes!

Xue: ...

Lilja: Xue.

Lilja: Here, a gift.

Xue: Huh!?

Ramona: Lilja seems to want to give it to you. It's yours.

Xue: But, you hit it didn’t you.

Ramona: Did you want to get it yourself?

Ramona: It's okay, we earned it together.

Ramona: I was fired up because of the competition.

Ramona: Will you accept it?

Xue: ...

Xue: You just decided to challenge me on your own…

Xue: Thank you, Ramona.

Xue: And Lilja too.

Lilja: You're welcome.

Xue: ―Wait, what's with that camera?

Lilja: What?

Xue: Have you been filming me all this time?

Xue: You were recording earlier too?

Lilja: Because it's rare for Xue to say thank you so sincerely.

Lilja: I wanted to zoom in on that and document it.

Xue: Don't come near me! Don't film me!

Koyomi: Oh? It seems like the recording didn't work, right?

Koyomi: Let me check.

Koyomi: ...It seems like it didn't record after the camera was handed to Lilja.

Lilja: Uh, that's...

Koyomi: It's unfortunate, but I'll have to confiscate the camera.

Lilja: Handling machines is difficult… Unlike nature and animals, you can't understand them...
